You can hammer the whites right now, best time of year to fill the freezer. Look for main lake points with sharp contours dropping off to 30 ft they may be in top of the point or in the basin. Slow lift and drop with the blade if you have scope hover a damiki over schools May catch a few of those toothy critters too.

Fished parallel the bank to cover water and just picked up random fish cruising along the shoreline looking for bait.

They are still biting out there! Suprising because typically they have moved off the main lake points by the time of ice out.
